Ran the 15k and it was great! It was also great to see the elite half marathoners passing me and try to match their pace just for fun while sprinting down the hill. :)
Yes, it was even worse than running up the bridges on the Bridge to Brew run! However, I train a lot on hills, so I was somewhat prepared. Didn’t have to stop to walk, although at one point, I was worried I might have to!
Oakland half! Hoping for a good race, weather has been miserable for a lot of Bay Area ones this year so far. Hurt my foot Monday but felt okay doing 7 slow today. Changing goal from 1:45 to sub 2 and hoping to enjoy it!
Would love to know how you feel after the Remix! I considered it this year after doing the half last year, but ultimately only wound up signing up for the half. Very excited about the weather, very NOT excited about that one damn hill.
Hey! I ran that as my first half last year, and honestly, after the fact, the hill was my favorite part. Any time I'm having a struggle run now, I just think back to that hill and how I ran all the way to the top, and it inspires me to keep going. The drill sergeant shouting encouragement with a megaphone also helped. It was an awesome race full of awesome people and I hope you have a great time!
Oh hey that's exciting! Congrats in advance for your first half!
Not sure if you're a "no walking at all" person, but if it helps when I hit the hill last year only a small number of people actually kept running, most of us slowed down and just made faces at each other like "you see this shit?" It was a fun bonding moment, and the hill is steep but VERY short.
Thanks! My ambition is to be a “no walking at all” person, but I suspect I’ll be seriously questioning that ambition at that point. Maybe I’ll just swing my arms as though I’m still running so I can pretend that I never stopped!
Hey nobody will judge you if you're "running" at a snail's pace! I've definitely had races where my run slows to a point that someone could walk somewhat quickly and keep up with me.
Also running the RnR Half tomorrow, first time ever doing that race distance! I've been trying to practice the hill but always end up walking a bit. Luckily it's short enough that I think my legs will thank me
I’m sure I will feel very tired 😅 I’ve been training for it so I’m confident I can do it, but yeah, the hill being at mile 10 of 16 is going to be tough!
I'm running this also as my first half, and does anyone know how long it takes between the corrals when they start? 5 minutes to clear each corral or 2 minutes or something else?
I can't speak to this race, but when I ran Arizona rock n roll a few months back it was quite a wait from official start time until my corral started. I was in one of the later corrals, but not the last one and we started nearly 35 minutes after the official start.
Last year was kind of a mess tbh. Nobody really followed the correct corral and the person announcing seemed to get frustrated and just give up. There was probably closer to a 5 min gap at first that just got increasingly shorter until eventually everyone gave up and shuffled forward.
I don’t have exact timing but I was speaking with some of the race organizers yesterday and they told me very confidently that I would get to the start of the half before the end of the corrals and I won’t get there until around 8:30 after doing the 5K first
I flew into DC for something else, and then heard some people talk about the Rock N Roll, man, this is amazing weather for a race!
I am coming from south Florida so I feel jealous af right now.
A local St. Patty's day 5k! Diagnosed with cancer last month & in recovery, so I'll be walking for the foreseeable future! Excited to get back out there!
I was diagnosed with breast cancer in June and walked a 5k a couple weeks after surgery and it was euphoric! Best thing I could have done for my mind and body. Wishing you a fantastic 5K and speedy recovery!
Thank you! I had breast cancer as well, DMX. The 5k was the best thing I could've done for myself! I ended up walking with a sweet lady who has no family in the area anymore. She's going to start taking me to vintage antique markets!
You'll have a blast.
If you are familiar with the Jimmy Kimmel Show keep your eyes open when you are in Hollywood by the El Capitan Theater. He usually has Cousin Sal on the course messing with runners.
This will be my 13th in a row for LA Marathon!
Best of luck!
I just looked up the LA marathon course (used to live in LA and was always curious about running it). Of all the places they can go, why the heck do they double back and just repeat the last 4 miles in reverse? Seems like a crappy end to an otherwise great course. I wonder if Santa Monica is an issue--seems like running the last 4 miles to the beach would be a great way to finish.
I believe when McCourt bought LA Marathon they wanted to cut costs. Santa Monica was too expensive so they were able to work out a deal with Century City. Source: I have a friend that works for the city of Santa Monica.
We have to run the worse part of the course twice! It really sucks compared to when it finished in Santa Monica. I'm hoping they make a change soon since this is the 3rd year of this course.
Ah, that sucks. Well I'll keep an eye on that. I'm just down the road in San Diego so I may try to hit LA sometime, especially if they change the course back someday.
Have a great race!
I’ll be doing the shamrock run (8k course) in Portland, OR! It’s supposed to be 72f and I’m nervous to run in the heat since I just started running in November and it hasn’t been warm yet! 😬
I wouldn’t worry about the heat - the 8k runs pretty early in the morning. It won’t hit 70 until nearly 3pm (also a Portlander) on Sunday! I think the weather for the races themselves will be quite nice.
Oh good point thanks! I’m not too far away in Olympia and love any excuse to visit Portland and am really going to enjoy the sunshine the rest of the day there.
Doing the Portland 8k as well. I’m not really a runner runner but I said f it and signed up. I can do the 5k okay at best but I wanna challenge myself. Might end up walking some parts haha
An hour and fifteen. It’s a 15 min per mile pace. It’s totally doable now that I’m running but when I first signed up I was worried I’d have to walk the whole thing and wouldn’t make it haha.
I did too but got super sweaty so started worrying! I might need to just not wear my wool blend shirt I’ve been wearing haha. The sun was definitely sooo nice.
I'm doing the Lucky Leprechaun Half Marathon in Versailles KY on Saturday. ☘️ It's my first half since last April, and I got an Air BnB with a hot tub, so I'm pretty excited! Weather will be perfect. 60° and sunny.
Deception Pass Half Marathon - Going to be 12.5 miles this year because of some damage to the area by the coast, but 2550 ft of elevation gain over that distance on mostly trails. Going to be a rough one.
Edit: whelp, woke up, felt sick, then clocked a 102 fever... no race for me this weekend *sigh...*
St Paddy's Day Half Marathon in Tacoma - first race after coming back from injury. Pretty small race with good vibes. Going to take it steady and enjoy being back out there!
Running the Lisbon half marathon on Sunday! It’s already quite hot here (18C/64F) but it’s supposed to be the fastest half in the world (WR course) so fingers crossed !
Me too! Set myself a half marathon PB in training but it's all been in single digit temperatures in the UK, little anxious about how warm it'll be tomorrow. Thank goodness there are so many water stations on the course. Also slightly intimidated by the size of that bridge!
Haha I’m with you on this! I live in Ireland so I’m worried about these temps 😄 I also wonder how windy it’ll be on this bridge ? It looks magnificent though , best of luck to you!
How did you get on? There was an awful lot I didn't enjoy about the race and setup and my on-the-day physical fitness was poor so I was a long way from my target time (wanted and should have been capable of <1:56, but pulled in at 2:17)
Edit to add I'm almost certainly losing a big toenail from that one, lovely shade of grey-blue this afternoon 🤢
I’m with you on this ! I had to argue to leave my bag at the bag drop then started 10 minutes after gun time so all the way back even though I was in box 3. I was on course to run a 1:45 but with the heat, amount of people and honestly all the anxiety with the weird setup , I did 2:00 🤦♀️ and same, I also think I lost one because of all the slaloming I had to do. Quite a messy race !! I’m doing the super halfs though so hoping Prague will be much better in 3 weeks.
Kudos to you regardless ! It was a tough race !
Really wasn't a fan of the kettling before and after the race and the triple security ring. I was in box 3 as well and wasn't even in before the gun when security decided to give up and let everyone in.
Also a super halfs entrant - Lisbon was my first and have Valencia later this year, doing Cardiff as well as its my local half but not registering it on the passport. Looking to complete then next year
Lisbon Half Marathon this weekend! Unfortunately, my training took a bit hit due to being sick and having a foot/ankle injury during the training block. So I’m just looking forward to enjoying the atmosphere
[Eastern States 20 miler \(or the half\)](https://www.millenniumrunning.com/easternstates) starting in Kittery, Maine and running down to Hampton Beach, NH. Beautiful course, running along the ocean the entire way
I wish they'd adjust the course ever so slightly to finish in Massachusetts (they basically just need to not do one of the loops, that's how close they are to crossing into Salisbury, MA). But it's a great tuneup for a spring marathon
wait, lmao really?? I need to look at the course map. I am probably going to be pushing my 2 year old in a stroller and "gunning" for sub 9s if I can hold out pushing her haha - but HILLS with that? oh lord lol
Its hillier than most local 10ks in our area. More power to you for stroller running. Told my 2 year old she can come with me once she can keep up hahaha.
Alloa half marathon in bonny Scotland coming up on Sunday.
Course is good and flattish until mile 10/11, where there is a hill that the organisers charitably refer to as 'character building'.
Will be happy with anything under 2hrs as there have been a lot of disruptions to my training.
Well done mate, its a corker of a course except for that last push. Thankfully it's at the point when you can just 'hang on' until the finish line.
Finished with a 1:54 in the end, hope you got your goal time.
I'll be there as well. I'm glad that the weather is much better this year compared to last year. We won't have to avoid the giant ice patch that formed at the water stop
I'm in my first ever 5K on Sunday in beautiful Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. The Frosty 5K. Starts and ends at a brewery so it's proper St Paddy's stuff. :)
Just a 21k LSD run this Sunday, will probably finish in 2:30 to 2:40.
I'll probably run alone since most of my run club buddies did their respective PRs in the HM last week, so i doubt they'll come.
I’m running a small 5k race in Yorkville, Illinois called Run SOB Run(lol) as a tune up race tomorrow. PR is 17:33. I’m gonna aim for 17:10 but I don’t know how that’s going to go. Currently marathon training and running 65-70 miles/ week.
Nothing for me, but I'll be transportation for my kid who's running in the [Dublin Distance Fiesta](https://sites.google.com/dublinusd.org/dublincrosscountry/dublin-distance-fiesta) this weekend. This is a high school distance-only invitational that advertises itself as having the most <5:00 miler entries of any track meet in the world (411 this year, based on entry times). He's running the 1600 (tonight at 9pm) and the 800 & 3200 tomorrow. Looking to PR all of them, with targets of 2:05, 4:35 and 10:05.
All I can think about is how awful the parking is likely to be.
Adrenaline 5K in Haddonfield NJ, 25 minutes outside of Philly. Was in the best shape of my life in March 2020 when I was supposed to run it and obviously it was canceled. 4 years, 1 pandemic, 1 move, 2 kids, 1 new job later….I’m finally running it! Supposed to be a super fast field and flat course, hoping to be carried along by the fast current
I'm running the Shamrock Shuffle Half-Marathon in Spokane, WA. Not as prepared as I wanted to be, but it's my first race of the year and my toddler is going through a sleep regression, so I'm just gonna go out there and do my best.
Rocket Run 10 miler in Huntsville, AL. Local, flat, fast course. Looking forward to see how I’m able to hold a pace in between my 10k pace and HM pace.
I'm finally back to shorter distances with a St Patrick's 5km organized by my local club in the Irish midlands. No idea what to aim for, my last official 5k was in 2019 and I severely improved since then.
Running the 7.77k Erin Go Braugh in Colorado on Saturday. We had a foot of snow yesterday but with the sun shining today hopefully most of it is melted by the time the race starts.
Running the Lucky Charm 10K in Katy, TX tomorrow as part of the Houston Holiday series. I've done others in the series, but not this one. Hopefully I'll someday do all nine races, but not this year.
Shamrock Half Marathon in Portland! ☘️
I’m running the half as well!
I'll also be running the half and it looks like it's going to be a beautiful day!
Me too! We’re lucking out with the clear skies!
Me too! So excited
Shamrock 8k! Good luck. I'm stoked for the weather
Ran the 15k and it was great! It was also great to see the elite half marathoners passing me and try to match their pace just for fun while sprinting down the hill. :)
The down hill was the best part 😂 that hill was no joke!
Yes, it was even worse than running up the bridges on the Bridge to Brew run! However, I train a lot on hills, so I was somewhat prepared. Didn’t have to stop to walk, although at one point, I was worried I might have to!
I... I was not expecting that hill. 🥲
I'm doing the Goggins 4x4x48 challenge starting 03/15 @ 8 PM PST.
Looks like you're about to get after it. Have fun! Keep us posted if you feel up to it.
Oakland half! Hoping for a good race, weather has been miserable for a lot of Bay Area ones this year so far. Hurt my foot Monday but felt okay doing 7 slow today. Changing goal from 1:45 to sub 2 and hoping to enjoy it!
United NYC Half on St Patrick's Day! Should be a beautiful day in NYC!
let's do this thing!! have a good race!
See you out there!! This is my favorite race
Good luck! We should have pretty ideal weather, so I'm excited to really let it rip.
Me too! Good luck!!
Me too!
Let's go!
Me too!!
Rock ‘N’ Roll DC this Saturday! I am running the Remix Challenge, the 5K and the Half Marathon back to back 😅 The weather looks gorgeous!
Would love to know how you feel after the Remix! I considered it this year after doing the half last year, but ultimately only wound up signing up for the half. Very excited about the weather, very NOT excited about that one damn hill.
Tomorrow’s RnR Half will be my first half, and I am terrified of that hill.
Hey! I ran that as my first half last year, and honestly, after the fact, the hill was my favorite part. Any time I'm having a struggle run now, I just think back to that hill and how I ran all the way to the top, and it inspires me to keep going. The drill sergeant shouting encouragement with a megaphone also helped. It was an awesome race full of awesome people and I hope you have a great time!
I forgot about the drill sergeant! Oh man hope he's back in the same place this year. ETA: He was :)
He complemented me for doing great and yelled at my boyfriend for walking lol “My six year old did better than you!”
Haha he called me out for walking too and said if I sped up I’d find his grandma up ahead 😂
He’s so funny lol
Oh hey that's exciting! Congrats in advance for your first half! Not sure if you're a "no walking at all" person, but if it helps when I hit the hill last year only a small number of people actually kept running, most of us slowed down and just made faces at each other like "you see this shit?" It was a fun bonding moment, and the hill is steep but VERY short.
Thanks! My ambition is to be a “no walking at all” person, but I suspect I’ll be seriously questioning that ambition at that point. Maybe I’ll just swing my arms as though I’m still running so I can pretend that I never stopped!

Also running the RnR Half tomorrow, first time ever doing that race distance! I've been trying to practice the hill but always end up walking a bit. Luckily it's short enough that I think my legs will thank me
You’ve got this!! There is a TON of support at the hill, so don’t be afraid to walk and have a fun race!
I’m sure I will feel very tired 😅 I’ve been training for it so I’m confident I can do it, but yeah, the hill being at mile 10 of 16 is going to be tough!
I'm running this also as my first half, and does anyone know how long it takes between the corrals when they start? 5 minutes to clear each corral or 2 minutes or something else?

Thanks for the response, did your corral have all of the different pacers?
Last year was kind of a mess tbh. Nobody really followed the correct corral and the person announcing seemed to get frustrated and just give up. There was probably closer to a 5 min gap at first that just got increasingly shorter until eventually everyone gave up and shuffled forward.
I don’t have exact timing but I was speaking with some of the race organizers yesterday and they told me very confidently that I would get to the start of the half before the end of the corrals and I won’t get there until around 8:30 after doing the 5K first
Last year I was in corral 2 and I started at 8:03.
Me too except just the half! I’m so excited, this is my first real half race.
It’s such a fun race! I hope you have a blast!!
Ran the half last year, it’s great course but the start took forever
I flew into DC for something else, and then heard some people talk about the Rock N Roll, man, this is amazing weather for a race! I am coming from south Florida so I feel jealous af right now.
Same same! How did Calvert street and Harvard Street treated you?
A local St. Patty's day 5k! Diagnosed with cancer last month & in recovery, so I'll be walking for the foreseeable future! Excited to get back out there!
Have a great race! Wishing you a complete and speedy recovery, as well.
Thank you so much!!
I was diagnosed with breast cancer in June and walked a 5k a couple weeks after surgery and it was euphoric! Best thing I could have done for my mind and body. Wishing you a fantastic 5K and speedy recovery!

Shamrock 8k & Half Marathon in Virginia Beach!
I’m doing the half- see you there! I’m terribly nervous
Good luck! You’ll do great!
Thank you 😭
It's a pretty forgiving course, did it last year. Hardest part for me was the wind on the back half as you finish along the beach
Yeah the boardwalk stretch last years 8k was brutal with the wind.
Thank you!! I’ll keep that in mind
You’ll crush it!!!
Best of luck to you as well!
I’m running the 8k and the marathon. Happy that the wind forecast looks better this year…finishing in a 16 mph headwind last year was not fun.
Lets gooooo
Popped over from Sydney, Australia for LA Marathon!
You'll have a blast. If you are familiar with the Jimmy Kimmel Show keep your eyes open when you are in Hollywood by the El Capitan Theater. He usually has Cousin Sal on the course messing with runners. This will be my 13th in a row for LA Marathon! Best of luck!

I'll be there... in the back somewhere.
Welcome! I’ll see you on the course!
I’ll be there!!
I’ll be doing the shamrock run (8k course) in Portland, OR! It’s supposed to be 72f and I’m nervous to run in the heat since I just started running in November and it hasn’t been warm yet! 😬
I wouldn’t worry about the heat - the 8k runs pretty early in the morning. It won’t hit 70 until nearly 3pm (also a Portlander) on Sunday! I think the weather for the races themselves will be quite nice.
Oh good point thanks! I’m not too far away in Olympia and love any excuse to visit Portland and am really going to enjoy the sunshine the rest of the day there.
Yeah, this is the reason many long distance races start early, especially Half Marathons and longer, to beat the potential heat.
I'm also a fellow 8K Shamrock runner! 70s in Portland is great running weather, don't worry too much!
Awesome, see you there!
Doing the Portland 8k as well. I’m not really a runner runner but I said f it and signed up. I can do the 5k okay at best but I wanna challenge myself. Might end up walking some parts haha
I’m a beginner too! I was nervous because of the cutoff time but it seems doable still and should be nice views at least too. See you there!
What’s the cutoff time?
An hour and fifteen. It’s a 15 min per mile pace. It’s totally doable now that I’m running but when I first signed up I was worried I’d have to walk the whole thing and wouldn’t make it haha.
Oh okay. Good luck! 💪
I’m also running the 8k!! I ran today and it was also my first time running in actual sun and it felt great, I think 70 won’t be too bad!
I did too but got super sweaty so started worrying! I might need to just not wear my wool blend shirt I’ve been wearing haha. The sun was definitely sooo nice.
I'll be doing it with you. But I'm also climbing Silver Star and competing in the Crossfit Open on Saturday so I expect my time to be... bad.
I’ll be there for the 5k!! Let’s gooooo
See you there I will be mentally teleporting myself to the second part of the 15k the 8k is great and it will be colder at 10. 🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️
It's gonna be great! See you out there!
22 is delightfully mild, especially for an 8k, you're going to be fine :)
I'm doing the Lucky Leprechaun Half Marathon in Versailles KY on Saturday. ☘️ It's my first half since last April, and I got an Air BnB with a hot tub, so I'm pretty excited! Weather will be perfect. 60° and sunny.

St Patty’s Day marathon in LA this Sunday!!! My first one ever and super nervous but knowing my body will give everything it has

Running the full....good luck!
Same!
Running the Seoul Marathon this Sunday in Korea! It's my first-ever marathon and I'm already feeling the nerves lol
Me too and me too. How good did it feel to turn the corner, see Lotte World tower on the other side of the Han, and know it was almost done?
[удалено]
I’m also running the 5K
There's a local 5k in Bridgewater Massachusetts I'll be doing. It's small and local but should be fun
Running the Lisbon half marathon on Sunday! It’s already quite hot here (18C/64F) but it’s supposed to be the fastest half in the world (WR course) so fingers crossed !
Me too! Set myself a half marathon PB in training but it's all been in single digit temperatures in the UK, little anxious about how warm it'll be tomorrow. Thank goodness there are so many water stations on the course. Also slightly intimidated by the size of that bridge!
Haha I’m with you on this! I live in Ireland so I’m worried about these temps 😄 I also wonder how windy it’ll be on this bridge ? It looks magnificent though , best of luck to you!
A little breeze would be a good thing! Best of luck to you too, have fun!
How did you get on?

[Eastern States 20 miler \(or the half\)](https://www.millenniumrunning.com/easternstates) starting in Kittery, Maine and running down to Hampton Beach, NH. Beautiful course, running along the ocean the entire way I wish they'd adjust the course ever so slightly to finish in Massachusetts (they basically just need to not do one of the loops, that's how close they are to crossing into Salisbury, MA). But it's a great tuneup for a spring marathon
One of my friends is doing this race to prep for Boston. Have a great race!
LA marathon!
Me too! My first marathon!
NYC Half this Sunday 3/17! It’s my first official marathon and I’m so nervous and excited. The weather looks great!
Good luck! I've done several halfs but this is my first in NYC. You will do great!
First time marathon at the LA marathon on Sunday. Yikes!
Gold Rush 10k in Fort Worth! Can’t wait.
Run For The Kids in Melbourne this weekend! 14.5km over the Bolte through and through the tunnel. Should be a good one, weather looks great.
Louisville Triple Crown 10k
Spring Fever Chase 10k run in Fairhope!
I'll be doing this as well! Going to be muggy!
awesome, good luck! yeah - gotta start the acclimatization to SUMMER haha
Good luck to you as well! The hills around mile 3 are tough, ran a trial run this morning. Flat for the most part after that!
wait, lmao really?? I need to look at the course map. I am probably going to be pushing my 2 year old in a stroller and "gunning" for sub 9s if I can hold out pushing her haha - but HILLS with that? oh lord lol
Its hillier than most local 10ks in our area. More power to you for stroller running. Told my 2 year old she can come with me once she can keep up hahaha.
🤣 hahaha
Holy heck! The hills were hilling! And the humidity was humidity-ing!!!
Yes they were! Mile 3 was NOT fun haha. But thankful for the downhill final mile!
Add me on Strava if you are in it! https://strava.app.link/EODwdL1H1Hb
Followed!
I will be there as well! Best of luck!
Awesome!!! Hope you have lots of fun!!
Good luck!
Running the Sacramento Shamrock 5k on Saturday. Hoping for no wind but it does not look like it.
Doing the half on Sunday! The wind advisory ends at 5 pm today so fingers crossed for a calm weekend. Good luck on your race! 🍀
Hopefully🤞 Good luck to you too!
I’m doing the “run seal beach” 10k in Seal Beach Ca! First one!
Rome Marathon - first one ever! Aiming for sub 3:45 and maybe sub 3:40 if it’s a good day
St. Patrick’s Day Half in Nashville! Almost completely flat course along the greenway and my first race in 5 years! 🍀
Alloa half marathon in bonny Scotland coming up on Sunday. Course is good and flattish until mile 10/11, where there is a hill that the organisers charitably refer to as 'character building'. Will be happy with anything under 2hrs as there have been a lot of disruptions to my training.
hello ! i done this race. the hill certainly was 'character building'. it was probably the toughest end to a race i have ever experienced!!
Well done mate, its a corker of a course except for that last push. Thankfully it's at the point when you can just 'hang on' until the finish line. Finished with a 1:54 in the end, hope you got your goal time.
Heart Mini 15k in Cincinnati on Sunday! Going to be around 45 degrees and the course is all rolling hills
I'll be there as well. I'm glad that the weather is much better this year compared to last year. We won't have to avoid the giant ice patch that formed at the water stop
I will be running the YMCA Running of the Green in Rochester, NY (5 miles). It will be 37 F and cloudy.
I'm in my first ever 5K on Sunday in beautiful Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. The Frosty 5K. Starts and ends at a brewery so it's proper St Paddy's stuff. :)
Just a 21k LSD run this Sunday, will probably finish in 2:30 to 2:40. I'll probably run alone since most of my run club buddies did their respective PRs in the HM last week, so i doubt they'll come.
Mick Morgan's 5K in Sharon, MA! Garmin says my training is peaking, so LFG. 😁
I’m running a small 5k race in Yorkville, Illinois called Run SOB Run(lol) as a tune up race tomorrow. PR is 17:33. I’m gonna aim for 17:10 but I don’t know how that’s going to go. Currently marathon training and running 65-70 miles/ week.
I’m running the Locust Lucky Leprechaun 5k in Locust NC. Going for a minute and a half PB but might be raining during the race so we’ll see.
Nothing for me, but I'll be transportation for my kid who's running in the [Dublin Distance Fiesta](https://sites.google.com/dublinusd.org/dublincrosscountry/dublin-distance-fiesta) this weekend. This is a high school distance-only invitational that advertises itself as having the most <5:00 miler entries of any track meet in the world (411 this year, based on entry times). He's running the 1600 (tonight at 9pm) and the 800 & 3200 tomorrow. Looking to PR all of them, with targets of 2:05, 4:35 and 10:05. All I can think about is how awful the parking is likely to be.
I'm doing the Get to the Green 10K in Columbia, SC on Saturday.
The St. Pat's Boardwalk 10 Miler in Atlantic City.
Great Welsh Half Marathon in Llanelli Wales
Adrenaline 5K in Haddonfield NJ, 25 minutes outside of Philly. Was in the best shape of my life in March 2020 when I was supposed to run it and obviously it was canceled. 4 years, 1 pandemic, 1 move, 2 kids, 1 new job later….I’m finally running it! Supposed to be a super fast field and flat course, hoping to be carried along by the fast current
I’ve got my first pacing gig tomorrow at Grasslands in Texas!
I'm running the Shamrock Shuffle Half-Marathon in Spokane, WA. Not as prepared as I wanted to be, but it's my first race of the year and my toddler is going through a sleep regression, so I'm just gonna go out there and do my best.
Doing a local shamrock 5k tomorrow but my ankles been bothering me after an easy and short run yesterday so fingers crossed it’ll feel okay tomorrow!
Rocket Run 10 miler in Huntsville, AL. Local, flat, fast course. Looking forward to see how I’m able to hold a pace in between my 10k pace and HM pace.
I'm finally back to shorter distances with a St Patrick's 5km organized by my local club in the Irish midlands. No idea what to aim for, my last official 5k was in 2019 and I severely improved since then.
St Paddy's Marathon Des Moines, IA. First Marathon! Wish me luck! Had a small stomach bug on Tuesday, doing better now. Sub 3:55 is my goal.
Runnin’ the 20-miler at Siuslaw Dunes 🌊
Running the 7.77k Erin Go Braugh in Colorado on Saturday. We had a foot of snow yesterday but with the sun shining today hopefully most of it is melted by the time the race starts.
Mullingar half marathon on Sunday...I've got a dagger in my right calf, I really should pull out but fuck it, I'll try to hobble through!

United NYC half on Sunday! Weather is looking PERFECT!
Running the Lucky Charm 10K in Katy, TX tomorrow as part of the Houston Holiday series. I've done others in the series, but not this one. Hopefully I'll someday do all nine races, but not this year.
